No one can assure that he will be safe. All you have to do is watch the sport long enough and learn that they all get hurt sometime or another. I have a friend who loves to race dirt bikes....he wrecked his new bike last month and broke his ankle....it's very dangerous...but they seem to enjoy themselves....there's something suductive about the sport.

My 2 boys are big into dirt bike riding. It is a dangerous sport. The riders have to be very cautous, but I don't think that my boys are. They are also into trying all the different tricks. It is scary! I try not to watch them when they are riding, this way I don't freak out as bad.
